1017: Chapter 1010: I Really Am Not as Good as You 1017: Chapter 1010: I Really Am Not as Good as You After concealing both the top-grade Primordial Heart Fruit and the ones from underground, Ye Chenfeng held a torch in his hand.
As he stared at the exit blocked by the collapsed earth, he gathered the Middle Stage Venerable Level Soul Force within his body.
He couldn’t recklessly waste Soul Force here, as it might cause a secondary collapse, and that would indeed be a tragic outcome for Ye Chenfeng.
But if he didn’t use Soul Force, Ye Chenfeng had no idea how long it would take to leave this place—it would be like waiting forever.
Thus, this moment severely tested Ye Chenfeng’s mastery over Soul Force.
The Soul Force he exerted had to be neither too strong nor too weak.
Fortunately, Ye Chenfeng’s control over Soul Force was much stronger than average.
He placed his right palm on the pile of earth in front of him and, with extreme care, let his Soul Force seep into the dirt.
The Soul Force that permeated from Ye Chenfeng’s hand meandered wildly within the mound, and soon, the earth began to soften.
Before long, a small heap of soil collapsed downwards, allowing Ye Chenfeng to climb a few steps higher.
One could say that Ye Chenfeng’s method was equivalent to an ant moving house.
Yet, aside from this, there was nothing else Ye Chenfeng could do.
The air underground was becoming increasingly thin.
If he didn’t hurry, he might not starve to death here but was likely to suffocate.
Meanwhile, above ground, the atmosphere was on the brink of explosion.
As Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan increased the Soul Force within their bodies, they faced three Initial Stage Venerable Level experts from the Heavenly Alliance.
Their odds of victory were close to zero.
The tall Zhao Li’an, short Zheng Kejun, and bald Li Mengfei from the Heavenly Alliance also raised their Initial Stage Venerable Level Soul Force.
The tall Zhao Li’an said, “Li Mengfei, Zheng Kejun and I will first incapacitate one of their Venerable Level Initial Stage experts.
Shouldn’t you have no problem holding off the other three Sect Level masters by yourself?”
Li Mengfei touched his bald head and said, “Just two Middle Stage Sect Level and one Peak Sect Level, right?
My strength is more than enough to deal with them.” As he spoke, Li Mengfei’s figure swiftly swooped towards Lin Xinyi and the others.
Zhao Li’an and Zheng Kejun, on the other hand, darted towards Shen Mingxuan.
Seeing that they intended to take him down first filled him with even greater despair.
He was the strongest among the four, and if he were taken out, the other three would have no choice but to surrender.
Suddenly, Shen Mingxuan thought of Ye Chenfeng a few days prior.
In the Nourishment Villa’s square of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, Ye Chenfeng faced three Peak Sect Level experts and even two Venerable Level experts, ultimately confronting a Middle Stage Saint Level master all by himself.
Ye Chenfeng had still managed to survive on his own strength, had he not?
And in this moment, Shen Mingxuan faced only two Initial Stage Venerable Level masters.
Could he not achieve what Ye Chenfeng had done?
Ever since Ye Chenfeng’s emergence, Shen Mingxuan, who was once deemed the number one genius of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, had felt his pride deeply wounded.
In his heart, he’d always longed to prove himself, and now, at last, he had his chance.
The despair in Shen Mingxuan’s eyes vanished completely, replaced by a burning will to fight.
He pushed his Initial Stage Venerable Level Soul Force to its limit, and his proud face twisted with a crazed fervor as he roared, “Today, I’ll let you people from the Heavenly Alliance witness our might.”
Shen Mingxuan, watching the two Initial Stage Venerable Level masters charge at him, suddenly pushed off the ground with fierce strength, rushing forward to meet them.
Faced with attacks from both Venerable Level masters, Shen Mingxuan focused on Zhao Li’an to his left.
His plan was to withstand one attack to deal with one adversary, potentially turning the tide of today’s battle in their favor.
Zhao Li’an and Zheng Kejun, initially smirking contemptuously as they launched their assault on Shen Mingxuan, saw his desperate resolve and their expressions abruptly changed.
Zhao Li’an exclaimed, “This kid wants to trade injury for injury; we absolutely can’t fall for his trick.”
Zhao Li’an and Zheng Kejun’s footwork halted abruptly, instantly widening the gap between them.
Zhao Li’an moved behind Shen Mingxuan while Zheng Kejun continued his frontal attack.
Shen Mingxuan was instinctively stunned by the sudden change in their battle rhythm.
But in that brief moment of hesitation, Zhao Li’an and Zheng Kejun closed in, sandwiching him between them like a hamburger.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Spurt—”
Zhao Li’an and Zheng Kejun attacked Shen Mingxuan simultaneously.
The suddenly alert Shen Mingxuan managed to block the attack from Zheng Kejun in front of him, but his back was viciously struck by Zhao Li’an, causing him to violently spit out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
Shen Mingxuan paid no attention to the bloodied corner of his mouth, nor did he pay attention to Zhao Li’an standing behind him.
The look in his eyes gradually turned blood-red as he focused solely on continuing his assault on Zheng Kejun.
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang—”
“Spurt!
Spurt!
Spurt!
Spurt!
Spurt—”
Shen Mingxuan’s back was relentlessly pummeled by Zhao Li’an, and he kept spewing out mouthfuls of blood, while the Zheng Kejun attacking him head-on was having a miserable time.
After all, Shen Mingxuan was also a Venerable Level Initial Stage master, so his strength was at most on par with Zheng Kejun’s.
On the other side,
the bald Li Mengfei of the Heavenly Alliance was dealing with Lin Xinyi, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan with ease.
Although Cheng Dahhu’s physical strength had reached the Venerable Level Middle Stage, the gap in strength could not be bridged just by physical robustness.
With a “Bang!”,
the bald Li Mengfei’s foot struck Xiao Liyuan’s chest, causing Xiao Liyuan’s body to suddenly fly backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
His chest bones seemed to have caved in.
He tried to rise from the ground, but the intense pain in his chest made him collapse back down.
After Xiao Liyuan lost his combat ability, Li Mengfei became even more relaxed facing Lin Xinyi and Cheng Dahhu.
In no time at all, Cheng Dahhu was also down and out after being hit over twenty times, leaving only Lin Xinyi still standing, drenched in sweat.
With only Lin Xinyi left standing, Li Mengfei completely relaxed.
Glancing at Shen Mingxuan, Zhao Li’an, and Zheng Kejun, who were still fighting not too far away, he laughed and said, “Zhao Li’an, Zheng Kejun, how are you two Venerable Level Initial Stage masters unable to handle even one of the same level?”
Hearing Li Mengfei’s voice from not too far away, Zhao Li’an and Zheng Kejun’s anger intensified during combat.
Zhao Li’an, positioned behind Shen Mingxuan, elevated his Venerable Level Initial Stage Soul Force to its limit and bellowed, “Zheng Kejun, get out of my way.”
As soon as his words ended, Zhao Li’an leaped into the air, delivering a kick infused with the ultimate force of the Venerable Level Initial Stage Soul Force, hitting Shen Mingxuan’s back at an extremely fast pace.
Shen Mingxuan’s body was flung forward, blood violently spurting from his mouth as he no longer had the strength to rise, his eyes once again filled with a color of despair.
A bitter smile surfaced on his lips as he murmured to himself, “Ye Chenfeng, I truly am not as good as you.”
After Shen Mingxuan lost the ability to fight and remained grounded, the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance was left with only Lin Xinyi still standing.
The bald Li Mengfei spoke to Zhao Li’an and the others, “I remember our young master seemed interested in this woman, Lin Xinyi.
We can kill the other three directly, and although the young master didn’t ask us to spare this woman, if we bring her before him and make her his female slave, perhaps we will receive the young master’s praise.”
